Where has the respect gone?

By TONI WALKER

There seems to be a lot of talk about what is lacking. Everything from faith, to trust, to honesty, and more are mentioned when people talk about what is wrong with our country today. Well, I am going to tell you what I feel is the biggest this we are missing…it is respect. Where has all the respect gone?

When I was a child, I was taught to say “Yes, sir,” “No, ma’am,” please, and thank you. It was expected that you said these things to anyone that was older than you by more than just a few years. To this day, I still say these to people, sometimes who are not much older than I am. It’s funny that some of them actually are bothered by it because they say it makes them feel old. (ok, I have to admit that I am one of those that feels that way sometimes!)
